I'd rather watch it then some of the krap they put on TV these days. Like most of the reality shows. Some new interesting TV series are coming in the Fall. I'm very interested in some of these shows for the Fall TV Line up.

Rooty poo candy A--! I should give you the peoples elbow for starting this thread! Now I gotta think of all the great moments in wrestling history. It's gotta be the Rock VS Mankind, half time superbowl, empty arena. Beer kegs as weapons and a forklift used for the final pin.

Now THATS entertainment!

Check this one out. Maniac Mark Lewin, seconded by Playboy Gary Hart vs The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes with the bionic elbow.

Incidently, I saw Di-ck the Bulldog Brower in person at the Harrisburg PA Zembo Mosque vs Domonic DeNucci in a grudge match. Dad and I sat corner ringside and it was a bloodbath. Brower turned Denucci's forehead into raw hamburg. You could feel the blows from both. Never forget that, vintage 1969 match.

My favorite WWF storylines: Invasion. Kane vs Undertaker no matter when it's been. Kane marries Lita storyline where Lita was kayfabe pregnant and Snitsky killed the baby. Matt Hardy VS Edge over lita. Not sure many people realize Edge and Lita where having a thing while she was still with Matt. Word got out to the public when WWE didn't want it too but created one of the most personal story lines ever. DDP/Undertaker Story line where DDP stalked Undertakers wife. The Helmley Regime. Vickie Guerrero as GM and Edge in a relationship.

I use to really like Pro Wrestling in the sixty's and early seventy's ... Bruno Sammartino .. Bo Bo Brazil ... Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd .. Spyros Arrion ... The Sicilians (Albano and Altamore) .. That is when it was soooooo bad it was fun .. Used to go watch the matches they taped for TV at the Allen High School Little Palestra in Allentown PA ...
Gorilla Monsoon .. Tony Atlas .. Jimmy "Superfly" Snooka .. and of course the Fabulous Moolah ...

Yep why do you think Vince brought ECW back in 2006 for one night stand? To embarrass it more with his stupid crusading angle then watering it down to sh*t where they finally renamed the show. Dreamers promo on impact last week said it all. Watch it and you'll see what I mean. This was in his own words. NO BS but how the ECW guys feel as a whole.

When i was 10 pro wrestling was the only show in town. I waited all week for Saturday night at 6:05 for wrestling on tbs. Who will ever forget Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer or the other greats like Murdock and Ivan Koloff. Never have been a big fan of WWF and i have not watched for years it is no longer wrestling it is a joke but i will always have fond memories of saturday nights and the omni promo"s and wondering all week who won the matches. Also wrestling would often be cut short by Braves baseball it was just another reason to dislike the Braves.

<WWE now as it is called is a joke. it's not wrestling. I watch TNA Impact now because they have some good talent who can actually wrestle and that includes their female workers. WWE I heard is trying to higher actresses to be "female Wrestlers". I'm sorry but I'd rather watch women who know how to wrestle or have a background in it. TNA doesn't go for the over the top promo's Vince McMahon does and lately he's been a huge hypocrite towards certain aspects of the industry. He's making his father's company a joke these these and a laughing stock.

I loved wrestling and the ECW when I was younger. The whole NWO thing with Hogan and Kevin Nash was one of the all time great storylines as was the battle between WWF and WCW. We loved it in college

It was good but once the invasion came as good as it was it had so much potential to be better. Vince just wanted to embarrass ECW and WCW after he bought them out but he forgot ECW will never die. It was more of a success then WCW and lasted longer and has a huge cult following.

I stopped when the WCW went away, though I always liked WWF better. That one year was awesome, those guys played it to the hilt. The ECW was absolutely awesome, I still hear Joey Styles in my head and "the night Kamona danced atop the ECW arena"

"a few years Boss man killed himself by hanging."

I found where The Big Bossman had a heart attack in 2004.

Styles is now working as a web designer for WWE.com. Jim Ross is good friends with him and said he doesn't have much interest in announcing anymore.
